<div>"Back room" or "server" seems what you're looking for, yes? </div>
<div>I like "...whim and mercy". </div>

<div>as to Rick's observation, yes, it's the elapsing part we should </div>
<div>bear in mind. There's a trick: make a lot of partitions (of right </div>
<div>size), then install the first OS over a few of them. When installing </div>
<div>subsequent OSs, put them on later partitions and have the Grub <br>menu point to each of the various kernels located on the various </div>
<div>partitions. Probably there are some who don't think this is a trick. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>However that, we'll be doing well to get the box not to electrocute </div>
<div>itself and install one OS on it. </div>

<div>Yeah, I figured it would be rather time-consuming. I guess it really comes down to a debian version and a red hat version? Just to find out how cranky they get. Since I got your ear Rick, it seems like debian is catering more towards the desktop, and redhat is catering more towards the, for lack of a better term, system? By system, multiple computers at your whim and mercy?
